Energy Storage and Density - Duracell Quantum AA cell vs the Energizer Ultimate

[brentjennifer]

I love the testing and technical data you've gathered for this new battery.  I find the energy density analysis concept very interesting but not as practical for me as cost per hr in my kids high tech toy.  I noticed someone else suggested adding price to the spread sheet.  My price is something I can add on my own (since the file is available) but I'm missing some testing data for the more basic batteries: Energizer Max (standard), Energizer Lithium Ultra (tier 2), and a cheep competitor Rayovac alkaline.  The spread sheet could then have a price per battery (modifiable for anyone to use their own prices) and a separate column for calculated cost per kW/hr both in high and low usage categories.

I'm also curious, What batteries you're using in your personal volt meters, cameras, etc after doing this testing? A real-life application of the data/testing in a separate video might get you increased traffic.

Thanks for your post.

I've had a kind offer to make my data more friendly to post on the web and your suggestions of the addition categories make a lot of sense.

I use the Energizer Lithium's in items that are high energy consumers and starting to use the Duracell Quantum in my other equipment.

There will be several videos related to my application of battery technologies based on my testing.

Cheers,
Martin.

sorry for reviving an old thread

has there been anyone who tried to do the same series of power/life tests on 18650/26650 types of cells?

18650/26650 cells are on my list to test soon....will post results once done.
